The goal of this month is to get you thinking about your happiness in education. These activities are designed to engage your thinking around what aspects of education have brought you the most happiness. They are also designed to help you learn from times in your career where you were not as happy. Great things happen when you make your happiness a priority!

Self-isolation, quarantining, social distancing, and not going to school is going to be the norm for a while due to the Corona virus. Within weeks, our lives as we know them have changed drastically. As educators we find ourselves lost without our students and the connections that brought us into the profession. We struggle to structure our days at home and develop new routines that will help us fill each day. Many decisions we make during this period will play a pivotal role in our well-being and happiness.

I just spent the last four years of my life trying to recapture my happiness in education. And guess what, it worked!  I can honestly say that I am as happy now as I was when I entered the profession, but man, this has been a journey!
